Each of the trees in this stand is a genetically identical male that has reproduced vegetatively. Although no single tree in this stand is of that age, the stand itself as a single organism has existed that long. [119] Individual trees in the clonal patch have been listed as having ages of 2000 [120] [121] or even to 3000 years old. [122] [123]

According to this book , those cormels are called 'eddos' in the West Indies (the book also mentions var. antiquorum separately, without connecting it to eddo(e).
